Starting System: Overhaul: Starter

CAUTION: DO NOT clean starter in degreasing tank or with grease dissolving solvents. This will remove lubricant from clutch mechanism, and damage insulation on armature and field coil.

Starter motors do not require lubrication, except during overhaul. The roll-type overrunning clutch requires no lubrication. The drive assembly, however, should be wiped clean and lubricated with silicon grease on shaft, underneath overrunning clutch assembly. See Fig 1 or Fig 2.

NOTE: On PG260 and PG260M starter motors, starter and solenoid are not overhauled and are replaced as a complete assembly.
